Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[hydroxy-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)methyl]-5-cyclopropylisoxazole (1.0 g), phosphorus tribromide (0.70 g) and pyridine (0.05 g) in dry ether was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ether. The organic extracts were dried (anhydrous magnesium sulphate), filtered and the solvent evaporated yielding 4-[bromo-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)methyl]-5-cyclopropylisoxazole (compound 299, 1.18 g)as a yellow oil: NMR: (CDCl3) 1.1(4H,m) 1.9(1H, m) 6.9(1H,s) 7.9(1H,m) 8.0(1H,s) 8.15(2H,m).
